he Paste Into feature of Adobe InDesign allows you to make advanced visual effects by nesting a limitless number of elements inside a frame. An example is using this command to add some creativity and different effects to text. In this tutorial, you will learn how to add an image inside of a text frame using the Paste Into command.

InDesign allows you to mock up a layout with a generated dummy text. This feature is called the Placeholder text or more commonly known as Lorem ipsum in the printed typesetting industry. This is very useful if you are designing a document for a client that relies on copy but does not have the final copy available yet. Placeholder text allows you to start working on the design of the document by simply inserting a dummy text to indicate where the text will sit in the document, and can always be replaced when the final copy is available.

Having all information within the document may seem pretty boring especially if there is too much text sitting in the frame without overflowing. Threading text across frames in InDesign is a great feature that improves the process of editing and amending copy while you work on layouts. Threading text is a process of linking two or more text frames in an InDesign document allowing text to flow from one frame frame to another.

Adobe InDesign has a feature that allows you to flow large bodies of text between columns, pages, and between different text frames. This is a great time-saving feature that you can use as you work on your InDesign projects.
